Excerpt:
The 4Roots Farm Campus is a 40-acre urban farm two miles away from downtown in the heart of Orlando’s Packing District. There’s open space in the fields, a food forest, box gardens, and a greenhouse. An education building houses lab space with solar panels on the roof and tanks outside collect thousands of gallons of rainwater. The campus is being developed in phases as Brianna Rodarmel, Director of Programs at 4Roots Farm, explains.
“Everything we see here today on the 4Roots Farm Campus is part of phase one which is our education phase,” she says.
The campus is where the Orlando Science Center’s summer camp is being held for students grades three through five to learn where their food comes from and how to be more connected to it. Jeff Stanford, Vice President of Marketing with the Orlando Science Center, says before the camp, children might say their food comes from the grocery store or a food delivery service. He says once they see how it grows, they’re more excited and empowered to make healthier choices.
